47. Tax 47.1 The Project Manager shall adjust the Contract Price if
taxes, duties, and other levies are changed between the date
28 days before the submission of bids for the Contract and

Adjustment only if provided for in the PCC. If so provided, the

payment amounts due in each currency. A separate formula
of the type specified below applies to each Contract
currency:
Pc = Ac + Bc Imc/Ioc
where:
Pc is the adjustment factor for the portion of the
Contract Price payable in a specific currency “c.”
Ac and Bc are coefficients32specified in the PCC,
representing the nonadjustable and adjustable
portions, respectively, of the Contract Price payable
in that specific currency “c;” and
Imc is the index prevailing at the end of the month being
invoiced and Ioc is the index prevailing 28 days before
Bid opening for inputs payable; both in the specific
currency “c.”
32
The sum of the two coefficients Ac and Bc should be 1 (one) in the formula for each currency. Normally,
both coefficients shall be the same in the formulae for all currencies, since coefficient A, for the
nonadjustable portion of the payments, is a very approximate figure (usually 0.15) to take account of
fixed cost elements or other nonadjustable components. The sum of the adjustments for each currency
are added to the Contract Price.
